The SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement) Review Checklist template is designed to ensure that all necessary elements of a SWMS are accurately reviewed and documented. It helps verify that the SWMS is complete, covering all high-risk construction activities, hazards, and control measures to maintain safety compliance on construction sites.

This checklist assists in maintaining compliance by ensuring that all components of a Safe Work Method Statement, such as identification of high-risk activities, hazards, and control measures, are thoroughly reviewed. By using this checklist, businesses can confirm that their SWMS meets the standards required by Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations.

The checklist prompts users to verify the inclusion of critical details such as the project name and address, contractor company information (including ABN), identification of high-risk construction work, relevant hazards, required control measures, and personal protective equipment (PPE). It also checks that qualifications for performing the tasks and control of hazardous substances are clearly listed.

This checklist is intended for use by site managers, safety officers, and contractors responsible for reviewing and ensuring the completeness and accuracy of SWMS documentation. It is particularly useful for anyone involved in high-risk construction projects who needs to confirm that all safety requirements have been met before work commences.
